1. The breed originated in Canada

This might be one of the reasons that relatively few people have heard of them in other countries. Although they originated in Canada, the breed is starting to catch on in other places around the world.

2. They resemble the American Pitbull to a certain extent

When you first set eyes on a Valley Bulldog, you might think you’re looking at some type of Pitbull mix. They definitely resemble these dogs, yet they appear lighter in their bone structure and they have slightly less development in their muscles. In fact, many people actually mistake these dogs for a young female Pitbull because they have a similar bone structure, yet they appear lighter and more agile.

3. They make great pets

These dogs do well in a number of different situations. Regardless of where you live or whether or not you have children or other pets, they usually do just fine as long as they’re properly trained and socialized.

4. They’re loyal

You might say that most dogs are loyal, but some are far more so than others. This is a dog that bonds very deeply with the people that it associates with and as a result, it constantly strives to please those individuals. The dogs also prefer to be around people, so don’t be surprised if they get in the habit of following you around wherever you go.

5. They can be protective

Because of their fierce loyalty, these dogs are also likely to be very protective of the people they’re close to. They don’t usually have a problem with strangers unless they feel like those individuals are a threat. Under the right circumstances, they can become quite aggressive when they’re around unfamiliar people or situations, especially if they feel like their human is being threatened because of it.

6. They like to be silly

Some dog breeds seem to have a very serious personality and others are constantly making you laugh. These dogs have no problem showing their silly side and they are very rarely serious.

7. They have a tendency to be calm

These dogs do well with both children and older adults because they don’t have a tendency to get over-excited about very many things. More often than not, they’re perfectly happy to lounge around with their owners and they love taking naps. With that being said, they’re also a very strong breed that has no problem going on a long walk or playing a game of fetch.

8. Their coats can be many different colors

More often than not, these dogs will display one of several different color combinations. Among them are black, white, black and white, fawn, brindle, and tan.

9. They’re relatively healthy

One of the great things about this breed is that they don’t tend to have a lot of medical problems. You do need to watch out for signs of hip dysplasia as the dog gets older, but aside from that, most of them don’t seem to have too many problems.

10. They’re smart

Some dogs are easier to train than others, largely due to their overall intelligence and temperament. That makes these dogs extremely easy to train. In fact, they have a tendency to pick up on things rather quickly.

It seems like everyone has their own idea of the perfect dog. Sometimes this involves a particular breed and other times it involves finding a certain dog that a person can connect with. If you’ve been exploring certain breeds and wondering whether or not there is one particular kind of dog that might be a better fit for you and your family, this is one that’s definitely worth considering.
